You can decide if you want to waste some pixels by adding spacing around zones, but my preference is definitely to have them snap next to each other.Īfter using FancyZones for a while now, I absolutely want Microsoft to integrate this into Windows 10, as the variety of monitors continues to expand.Snap Layouts are a more refined version of Snap Assist. Zones can be altered by dragging the edges of the zone. From there, you can either select the new layout, or click edit and customise it. To switch between layouts, you simply map a shortcut key like WinKey + `. To snap an app to a FancyZone, instead of the default Windows 10 zones, you simply hold down the Shift key, while dragging a window, it really couldn’t be simpler. This just isn’t achievable with a simple quad-split to application windows. I feel so much more connected to the world, while also being productive. Typically these are split horizontal, combining with my 3x vertically split browser windows. These video windows often have a live news channel open, along with a YouTube video that I listen to while writing. I often have multiple browser windows open, like TweetDeck to monitor social media, another window researching content, another with techAU’s WordPress site while I write articles like this one, and a couple of video windows. I now have multiple configurations defined, based on the set of work, or entertainment tasks I’m working on. This small little utility, absolutely transforms the usability of this display.
